While sitting in the hospital for 5 hours getting my stem cells harvested last week I was listening to some podcasts.  One mentioned a quote for improving things(the world) around you and went like this- “Make things better…make better things.”  It had to do with improving the world by being creative and manufacturing goods that would help people.  It kinda stuck with me so I started adding to the quote to see if we can’t do better than just making a better mousetrap or phone app.  Here is my list of things we can do that will improve ourselves and others.  So take what works for you, try something new each day or week as appropriate and if you like you can add your own items to the list also.
